Inaugural Los Angeles Quilt Show premieres at Crafted

The inaugural Los Angeles Quilt Show and Fiber Art Fest, created in response to the Long Beach Quilt Show leaving the area, runs Friday through Sunday at Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles. It offers local quilters an opportunity to display their work, participate in live quilting demonstrations and learn from fellow quilters.

In addition to a professional and peer-juried competition, the show will include a “scrappy hour” with Luke Haynes where quilters can share fabric (5 to 9 p.m. Friday), an AccuQuilt demonstration with Linda Curry (11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday), a yarn bombing on Saturday and an improv quilting demonstration with show curator Patsy Johnson (noon to 5 p.m. Saturday).

Quilting guilds, supply companies, teachers and fiber artists will all be in attendance. West Los Angeles quilt shop Sew Modern, one of the sponsors of the show, will be bringing a vintage camper filled with quilting goods. It will also be offering a free motion quilting demonstration Saturday.

The Los Angeles Quilt Show runs Friday from 4 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. $7. Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles, 112 E. 22nd St., San Pedro.
